    All of our Brunch dishes (party of 5) were tasty. Oysters were very fresh. Be prepared for a hefty bill when dining here. Server was good but somewhat overextended because it was crowded. Good spot for a special occasion but wouldn't make a habit of dining here.

    The total experience use to be much better. The restaurant is a bit worn...chairs need to be reupholsted, a table for 2 is ridiculously small and the food seems to have been down graded. When there for Christmas dinner but will not return. The hotel is beautiful with a wonderful view but there needs to be an upgrade.

    In general a nice dining experience. The food is solidly good. Unfortunately, this evening our entrees were served stone cold - they had clearly been sitting waiting for the server to pick them up.

    Very paired back compared to previous holiday seasons. The menu was also paired back a lot from our usual normal visits. Service was slow, understandable for a holiday season, but the quality and atmosphere did not seem a priority especially for the prices.

    Over priced drinks. $24 for a martini! Ridiculous!Overcooked fish and chicken. Absolutely no moisture left. Validation for parking didn’t work. Had to pay $9.00 to get out of the lot in the pouring rain. My last experience wasn’t much better. Never again will I risk spending $150 per person for a lousy meal. Service was excellent. I hope the new owners keep the wait staff, fire the managers and completely replace the kitchen. Absolutely no pride in what they put on the plate.

    Service was not up to par. Disorganized. Our server took 7 out of 8 pp drink orders. It took awhile to place an appetizer order by the time the appetizers were served, we had polished off our drinks and the 8th drink arrived around the same time as appetizers. Our server then only took 3 of 7pp drink orders and did not feel the need to check in with rest. Our water server was awesome attentive in refills and happy to hail down our main server to order more drinks and food. Our main server never asked us regarding mains, we again had to request another food order. It was a busy night and there seemed to be enough servers on hand perhaps our main server was having a bad night. It’s a hit or miss at Limewood.
